Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

“To my knowledge, the upper echelons of Chui Mountain, Muyin, and Jiangxia, as well as most of the Cold Resistance Levels, have long secretly submitted to Great Xia. Many high-ranking offspring have already settled in Xia City. Great Xia controls four towns. If we Five Towns don’t unite, we’ll surely be picked off individually and meet our doom!”

“Both Chen Cang and Cai Qiu have explicitly conveyed that they won’t head south within twenty years, and both vassals are happy to see a Southern Slope Alliance led by our Northern Three Towns. Brother Qin, what exactly are you hesitating about?”

“No matter how strong the two vassals are, that’s for the future. The threat from Great Xia is right now, Brother Qin. Don’t hesitate, quickly…”

“No need for lengthy talks here, Lord Shangguan, and Town Chief Yang; this lord will only ask one question. Even if I agree to withdraw from the alliance with you, what about the allied troops within your two territories?”

With a sharp question, Qin Feng interrupted the two and continued with a cold smile, “Great Xia has been increasing forces in Dongchuan and Yinhe Valley the past two years, stationing over thirty thousand troops each in those areas. Nearly all the soldiers sent by us five families have been persuaded to defect. As things stand, eighty percent of the soldiers are now Great Xia’s men. Should we truly withdraw from the alliance, do you think Great Xia will obediently withdraw these sixty thousand troops from the two towns?”

He paused, looking at Shangguan Yang and Yang Fa with a hint of schadenfreude on his face, and continued, “Inviting the gods is easy; sending them away is hard!”
